Austrian food
Hi Mona and Lisa.
Hope you are both well. 🙂
Hopefully this wasn’t asked before; is there any specific Austrian food that is your favourite? Since moving to Liverpool, has your diet changed much in terms of what you typically eat at home compared to when you lived in Austria?
For me growing up, it was half Korean cuisine and half western at home as my mom liked to cook and picked up the western cooking very nicely, so I can pretty much go either way for long periods, though I do miss some of the spicy Korean stews if I don’t have it for a long time, or when I go over to visit in Korea, after a while I miss a nice greasy bacon sausage and eggs covered in Tabasco with pancakes covered in warm butter and maple syrup.
Thanks. Warmest wishes to you all and stay safe!

Oh we miss the food nearly as much as our family! 😛
The Brits have a lot going for them: music, art, sports … food just isn’t one of their strengths 😉 Salt is apparently the source of all evil around here, leaving most food rather bland.
Of course there are British dishes we enjoy and you can get great Italian, Indian, Turkish, etc. food around here too but we do miss the Schnitzel and the sourdough bread and the Knödel (dumplings) and the Mehlspeisen (cakes and pastries) and the roasts, sausages and Gulasch and all the basics like cold cut meats and spreads. The thing I might miss the most though is something called Leberkäse, a meaty guilty pleasure of mine. That in a fresh bread roll with ketchup is heaven on earth.
The Sticky Toffee Pudding here in England kind of makes up for some of these shortcomings though …
PS: Yumm, Korean food ???? !

Thanks Lisa!Â
Those Austrian dishes sound heavenly. There are a couple of Austrian restaurants in my city, and I enjoyed the most wonderful schnitzel there in years past. Will have to make note of the dishes you mentioned and ask for them next time I’m there, once all this craziness passes. Maybe I’ll be able to impress the waiter when I ask for Leberkäse. 🙂Always enjoy these opportunities for questions and answers.
Take care, and stay safe.

Ah, Leberkäs! I’ve never tasted it, or even seen it, but we learned that term in my high school German class, and I loved the sound of it. (The word, not the concept. It literally translates “liver cheese”.)
My teacher, a German native, was the coolest instructor I ever had, and at the end of the school day I would usually stop by his classroom and chat for a few minutes. Somehow I got into the habit of ending the conversation with “Leberkäs”, as if that were German for “see you later”. And he always played along and said it back to me. Fun times.
